If it seems like your media is smacking you repeatedly, every day, every hour, with some kind of news or outrage from the Amerikan President or his bootlickers and turd polishers, you are completely correct. You might even react by tuning out all media because you feel the firehouse of shit is too much to try and follow.
It is a deliberate strategy, originally put forward by Steve Bannon, but now adopted by the Orange Twat’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller. Yes, that one, with the dead eyes and his left arm all the way up Orange Twat, using him as a meat puppet to pontificate on whatever page Project 2025 is on this afternoon.
Here’s how it works, with a quote from Bannon, who looks like your alcoholic hobo uncle you only see, uncomfortably and odiferously, at Thanksgiving.
“The media can only—because they’re dumb and they’re lazy—they can only focus on one thing at a time. And all we have to do is flood the zone,” Bannon said. “Every day we hit them with three things, they’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done. Bang, bang, bang. These guys will never—will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity. So it’s got to start, and it’s got to hammer,” he continued before being cut off. (1)
To see it in action just watch your news sources for the distraction: Trump publishes AI image of him as the New Pope” That was cover for Stephen Miller asking for a suspension of the legal cornerstone of Habeas Corpus and Due Process for anyone the administration deemed an illegal. Outrage or stupidity as cover for democratic disassembly of fundamental rights.
Ty Cobb, a member of the White House legal team during the first Trump administration, told The Washington Post: “It’s a naked power grab consistent with what Trump’s advisers have persuaded him to do, which is to flood the zone with as much unconstitutional activity as possible, with the hope that they get away with some or all of it.” (1)
Last week, the grift of a $400 million 747-800 with an “Imperial decor” to the “Defense Department” for use as the new Presidential transport (2) for the Orange Twat. That created waves of outrage at the shameless grift and implied bribery of Felon 47. That gave cover to the multi-million dollar “investments” by the Saudi Investment organization in a Jared Kushner proposed Trump-branded Hotel and in the Trump crypto coin grift. Donny said, essentially, I’d be stupid to turn down a free airplane. The deal means he gets to keep it after he leaves office, technically by it being a gift to the Donald J Trump Presidential Library Foundation, not to Felon 47 directly. The gag is that the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library had a fire last week. Both books burned and Donny hadn’t finished colouring one of them.
At the same time Felon 47 was all but getting on his knees with the Saudi Royal Family to thank them for buying more arms, negotiated last year and not leaning on Felon 47 to get involved in more Middle East politics, or putting the arm on Israel. The other outrages, aside from the photo of Donny napping during the welcome ceremony, was Felon 47 returning the salute of Saudi military war criminals and doing a photo op with a former Al-Qaeda who had a $10 Mllion US bounty on his head. Today it’s demanding public military tribunals for Obama and Biden, or reTruthing a Q-Anon death cult post. Which might explain why Moody’s Bond Rating is no longer AAA, but downgraded to AA for the United States of Amerika: It’s being driven into the ground with asinine foreign policy, this hours’ tariff statements, or surrenders because he’s a pussy, but claims it’s a big win.
This deranged behavior also covers the DOGE cutbacks at NOAA and the deaths of tornado victims who got zero-warning of the tornadoes yesterday in Kentucky. FEMA support? Oh, um, we’ll get back to you, as we have no money and no staff right now, everyone was let go as part of DOGE.
Even in the last few days, Diaper Don calling Bruce Springsteen a wrinkled has-been and Taylor Swift as past it, as the Daily Outrage. This was to cover up the billions grifted by Trump and his sons from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the bigger Trump loss, 7 of 9 Supreme Court Justices told Felon 47’s White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller in no uncertain terms, that “The Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law”.

This is in direct response to Miller’s assertion that due process doesn’t really apply to immigrants, particularly immigrants that may be here without status. Or to simplify, a majority of the Supreme Court, stacked by Trump 1.0 have told Steverino Millah to get fucked. Big Loss to a Bigger LOSER.

Now you have a partial understanding of “Flood The Zone” Next up, how media reacts to getting flooded.
